FreeBSD 9.0

[arjanhs]

De leden van het FreeBSD Release Engineering Team hebben nu dan echt versie 9.0 van FreeBSD uitgebracht. FreeBSD is in 1993 ontstaan en wordt als één geheel ontwikkeld, in tegenstelling tot bijvoorbeeld Linux, waarvan de kernel door de ene groep ontwikkelaars wordt onderhouden en bepaalde applicaties weer door anderen. Hierdoor wordt FreeBSD over het algemeen als stabieler en robuuster beschouwd dan diverse andere besturingssystemen. Downloads voor de verschillende processorarchitecturen zijn beschikbaar via ftp en bittorrent. Hieronder zijn de releasenotes van versie 9.0 te vinden, met daarin de belangrijkste veranderingen.
